Methods： Forty male adult Sprague Dawley rats were divided into 5 groups One group was treated by sham operation; four groups were myocardium hypertrophy cases caused by banding aortic above renal artery. Drugs were given one week after operation. Group 1： sham group, rats （n=8） were gavaged with normal saline 2 ml/（kg·d） （ig）; Group 2： control group, rats （n=8） were treated with normal saline 2 ml/（kg·d） （ig）; Group 3： rats （n=8） were given perindopril 2 mg/（kg·d） （ig）; Group 4： rats （n=8） were treated with irbesartan 20 mg/（kg·d） （ig）; Group 5： rats （n=8） were given irbesartan 20 mg/（kg·d） plus perindopril 2 mg/（kg·d） （ig）. Morphometric determination, calcineurin expression and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca^2＋-ATPase activity were done at the end of 6 week of drug intervention. Expression of calcineurin in myocardium was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results： Left ventricular mass index （LVMI）, transverse diameter of myocardial cell （TDM）, calcineurin activity were remarkably decreased after drug intervention and this decrease was most remarkable in the combination drug therapy group. Sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca^2＋-ATPase activity was increased after drug intervention, especially in the combined drug therapy group. Calcineurin expression in myocardium was remarkably decreased after drug intervention. LVMI was positively correlated with TDM and calcineurin, negatively correlated with sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca^2＋-ATPase. Conclusion： These data suggest that irbesartan and perindopril inhibit cardiac hypertrophy through the increased activity of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca^2＋-ATPase and decreased expression of calcineurin. Their combination had better effects on regressing of ventricular hypertrophy.展开更多

Methods: Using 45 Ca 2+ incorporation technique and peacock blue spectrophotometry respectively. Results: EM and GM (≥3.4×10 4 mol·L 1 ) inhibited endoplasmic reticulum 45 Ca 2+ uptake (the rate of inhibition: ≥17.4% and ≥25.5%, respectively); EM and GM (3.4×10 2 mol·L 1 ) inhibited Ca 2+ Mg 2+ ATPase activity (the rate of inhibition: 24.2% and 29.2%, respectively). Conclusion: At high concentration, EM and GM elevated intracellular calcium which may be related to their nephrotoxicity.展开更多

Methods Six weeks after the induction of DM by streptozotocin injected intraperitoneally, the rats were divided into three groups, namely： DM-rAAV-asPLB group, DM-saline group and DM group （control group）. The rats in the DM-rAAV-asPLB group were intramyocardially injected with rAAV-asPLB, the rats in the DM-saline group were injected with saline, and those in the control group did not receive any treatment. Six weeks after gene transfer, the expressions of PLB protein and PLB phosphorylation were detected by Western-blot, while the activity of sarcoplasmic reticulum （SR） Ca2＋-ATPase and left ventricular function were measured. Results The PLB protein expression level was significantly higher whereas the PLB phosphorylation, SR Ca2＋-ATPase activity and left ventricular function were significantly lower in the DM-saline group than in the control group. No significant difference was found in PLB protein expression level, PLB phosphorylation or SR Ca2＋-ATPase activity between the DM-rAAV-asPLB group and the control group. The left ventricular function in the DM-rAAV-asPLB group was poorer than in the control group and was better than in the DM-saline group. Conclusion rAAV-asPLB can down-regulate PLB protein expression and up-regulate phosphorylation and SR Ca2＋-ATPase activity, thus contributing to the improvement of in vivo ventricutar function.

ATPase 2a （SERCA2a） in a pig model with post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction. Methods： Ventricular fibrillation （VF） was electrically induced in Wu-zhi-shan miniature pigs. After 8 min of untreated VF and 2 min of cardiopulmonary resuscitation （CPR）, all animals were randomly administered a bolus injection of saline placebo （SA group, n=10）, SFI （0.8 mg/kg, SFI group, n=10） or epinephrine （20 t~ g/kg, EPI group, n=10）. After 4 min of CPR, a 100-J shock was delivered. If the defibrillation attempt failed to attain restoration of spontaneous circulation （ROSC）, manual chest compressions were rapidly resumed for a further 2 rain followed by a second defibrillation attempt. Hemodynamic variables were recorded, and plasma concentrations of catecholamines were measured. Adenylate cyclase （AC）, cyclic adenosine monophosphate （cAMP） and the expressions of 13 1-adrenoceptor （AR） and SERCA 2a were determined. Results： Cardiac output, left ventricular dp/dtr,~x and negative dp/dtm^x were significantly higher in the SFI group than in the SA and EPI groups at 4 and 6 h after ROSC. The expression of 13 1-AR and SERCA2a at 24 h after ROSC were significantly higher in the SFI group than in the SA and EPI groups （P〈0.05 or P〈0.01）. Conclusions： The administration of epinephrine during CPR decreased the expression of SERCA2a and aggravated postresuscitation myocardial function （P〈0.01）. SFI attenuated post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction, and the mechanism might be related to the up-regulation of SERCA2a expression.展开更多
